TPGM160304 NS9530 Tungaloy indexable insert — uncoated cermet, finishing grade

TPGM160304 NS9530 Tungaloy is an ISO‑standard triangular indexable insert designed for finishing turning operations on steel, offering a sharp cutting edge and low cutting forces.

ISO‑compliant triangular insert Uncoated cermet for fine finishing Sharp edge reduces cutting forces 11° relief angle for stable cutting

Achieving consistent finishing on steel with low cutting forces

The uncoated cermet grade NS9530 is formulated for finishing applications where a sharp edge and low cutting forces are required. The insert is designed for continuous cuts and small depths of cut, which makes it well suited to operations that prioritise surface integrity and dimensional control. The geometry of the triangular insert ensures three indexable edges per insert, while the 0.4 mm corner radius balances edge strength with achievable surface finish. Compatibility with a holder is determined by form, 11° relief angle, size and thickness, and these parameters are critical for achieving repeatable, high‑quality results.

System integration for fast tool changes and stable clamping

As an ISO series indexable component, the insert fits into standard external holders and boring bars when the form, tolerance and attachment match. The insert features a cylindrical hole for central clamping and a plate thickness of 3.18 mm, allowing secure fastening with standard underlay/clamp sets and replacement screws. This system approach reduces downtime: inserts are changed quickly and clamping repeatability is ensured by standardised dimensions, so process stability and batch consistency are improved without extensive rework or set‑up time.

Productivity gains through material and geometry optimisation

The combination of cermet cutting material, a sharp cutting edge and a 60° entering angle delivers enhanced surface finish with reduced need for secondary operations. The one‑sided chipbreaker is adapted for finishing feeds, supporting controlled chip formation and efficient evacuation. For turning applications on steel, this insert helps to lower cycle times through stable cutting behaviour while maintaining high surface quality. If additional process parameters or test cuts are required, Metav Werkzeuge can provide dimension and grade guidance to align the insert with production needs.
